These are fantastic as is, but also make the best white chocolate macadamia nut cookies with the included substitutions. Every time you make these, you’ll be told to “just leave the milk out of the fridge” because you’ll keep going back for more anyway! So addicting!
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
In a large bowl using a mixer, beat the butter until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and beat until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, then scrape sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Blend in the flour mixture in three stages then stir in chocolate (and optional nuts).
Scoop walnut-sized (I use a melon baller) balls of dough onto a baking sheet, leaving 1-2″ between mounds. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until bottoms are slightly golden and tops are still a light color. Remove from sheet and transfer to cooling rack.
Makes approximately 48 small cookies.

These are fabulous – I thought I’d left a review in the past since I’ve made them several times. We, too, just keep going back for another one. I sometimes put crushed cashews (more likely to have those around than macadamia nuts) in with the white and milk chocolate chips – just delicious!!

I think P Dubb gave me the answer in today’s cooking blog, I over beat them.
I’m lazy and enjoy not stirring, I think I took it a little too far.

Hmm … I’m not sure. Might have something to do with the temperature of the butter. I think the warmer the butter, the more the cookies “settle” as you said. I’m glad they still tasted good for you!

These didn’t come out right for me, they didn’t “settle” like your picture and looked more like meringues than cookies….still delicious and I will eat them all, but I wonder what I did wrong?

WoW! These were wonderful! I can see why your husband can’t stop eating them – I’ve eaten three right off the cookie sheet and am telling myself it would be nice to leave a few for MY husband and granddaughter! These are great!
